Hello all,
I am at the point where I am ready to purchase a cam. I already sourced a PC for Blue Iris according to Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris. I also already read the Wiki, Cliff Notes, this helpful post from @mat200 as well as other informative posts for beginners.
As suggested I want to get a varifocal turret IP cam for testing with a test rig. What I'm looking for is a decent varifocal turret overall cam, meaning something that has a decent balance between daytime and low light performance as my security concerns apply to both day & night.
Based upon this post from @Arjun it seems as though what I'm looking for is a varifocal Dahua 4MP starlight, again preferably a turret. I looked at the Dahua International site but I read multiple posts from users here talking about how there are errors in the spec sheets and Dahau has (at least in the past) labeled some cams are starlights that users here don't really think should be classified as starlights. So if anyone could offer me some options fitting my parameters that would help! Also since the post I linked is from over a year ago, I'm wondering if there are now possibly >4MP options with decent low light performance? Perhaps not much changes annually.
I'd also prefer to have some sort of audio support even if not built-in, but I understand there probably isn't a cam that will have everything little thing I want. I'm not married to Dahua either.
